Térinformatikai Csúcs Dohában - The Middle East Geospatial Summit in Doha

Megismételjük júliusi hírünket. Közel-kelet térségében a térinformatikai piaci igények iránt komolyan érdeklődő hazai vállalkozások figyelmébe ajánlható a Fleming Europe  körlevele. A szeptemberi 13-15 között tartó rendezvény egyik érdekessége lehet, hogy egyes olajsekségek máris nemzetközi elismerését kiváltó módon építették ki és üzemeltetik nemzeti téradat infrastruktúrájukat (pld. Abu-Dhabi). Ime a beérkezett figyelemfelhívás:

Szakterületünk a rivaldfényben az Eye on Earth szakmai csúcson

Voltaképpen Rió után 20 évvel lehet a mottója az értekezletnek. Az érdemi munka munkacsoportokban fog folyni.
Ezek a következők:

• Working Group 1: Policy, Governance and Institutional Networking
• Working Group 2: Content and User Needs
• Working Group 3: Technical Infrastructure
• Working Group 4: Capacity Building, Education and Awareness Raising
• Working Group 5: Applications Showcase
• A munkacsoportokban a HUNAGI-val kapcsolatot tartó olyan személyek vesznek részt, mint Bruce McCormack (az EUROGI elnöke), Prof Guo Huadong (az ISDE főtitkára), így várható, hogy mind az EUROGI-n, a GSDI-n vagy az ISDE-n keresztűl halltható a HUNAGI tagjai vagy a HUNAGI által megfogalmazott üzenet. A térinformatika, földmegfigyelés oldaláról számos nemzetközi tekintély lesz jelen, jelezve, a kérdés megoldásához nélkülözhetetlenek ezen technológiák felhasználása, melyek fejlesztésében és üzemszerű alkalmazásaiban az elmúlt két évtized hatalmas eredményeket hozott. Az előkészítő munka már megindult, a bekapcsolódás ezekben a hetekben várható. Az NGO-k véleményére külön kiváncsiak, ezért a jól megfogalmazott üzenet, javaslat, kezdeményezés vagy állásfoglalás eljuthat akár a napirendi tárgyalások szintjére, vagy a dokumentált háttéranyagokba.

15th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science

DEADLINE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION APPROACHES!!!!



"Bridging the Geographic Information Sciences"



24-27 April 2012, Avignon, France


http://agile2012.imag.fr

Fifteen years after the publication « Geographic Information Research: Bridging the Atlantic », edited by Max Craglia, one of the founders of AGILE, and Helen Couclelis from the NCGIA, you are invited to attend the 15th AGILE International Conference. As the bridges of Avignon and the Gard which have crossed the History, as the painter Van Gogh who travelled from the Netherlands to South of France, we shall try to emphasize the research in geoinformation science, geomatics and spatial analysis where different disciplines, epistemologies and scientific cultures meet. On behalf of the AGILE council, we invite you to participate in the next AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science that will be held in Avignon, France.


Call for Papers

Contributors are invited to submit:

Ø      Full papers: maximum 6000‐words manuscript of original and unpublished fundamental scientific research. High‐quality scientific submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Geoinformation and Cartography. We especially encourage PhD students to submit full papers. Papers must be written in correct English according to the Springer formatting guidelines.

Note: AGILE 2012 is running a double-blind review process. In preparing your manuscript, do not include any information which could reveal your identity, or that of your coauthors. The title section of your manuscript should not contain any author names, email addresses, or affiliation status. In the body of your submission, you should eliminate all direct references to your own previous work. That is, avoid phrases such as "this contribution generalizes our results for XYZ". Also, please do not disproportionately cite your own previous work. In other words, make your submission as anonymous as possible. We need your cooperation in our effort to maintain a fair, double-blind reviewing process.

Ø      Short papers: 2000 to 3000‐words manuscript of original and unpublished research work. High‐quality scientific and strategic (industrial and governmental) submissions will be accepted for presentation at the conference and will be published in the AGILE proceedings. Papers must be written in correct English according to the submission template and formatting guidelines.

Ø      Poster proposals: 500 to 1000‐words manuscript of original scientific and strategic research work. High‐quality submissions will be accepted for poster presentations at the conference, which will provide the exceptional opportunity to stimulate scientific discussions and exchange novel ideas. Posters proposals must be written in correct English according to the submission template and formatting guidelines.

Authors’ instructions are available on the web site of the conference. All submissions must be sent in electronically via the online conference manager (coming soon).

Ma esti postánkból. Prof.  Miljenko Lapaine, szervezőbizottsági elnök a Horvát Térképészeti Társaságtól írja: 

"Dear participant of the Workshop for Building Network Related to the SEE SDI in Szeged,

The 3rd Croatian NSDI and INPIRE Day and 7th Conference on Cartography and Geoinformation will take place in Split, September, 14-16, 2011. The conference is organised by the State Geodetic Administration and the Croatian Cartographic Society.

Due to the fact that spatial data are especially important in your everyday activity, I invite you to consider your participation at the Split conference. All information and registration are available at http://www.kartografija.hr

I am looking forward to see you in Split,

Miljenko Lapaine”

Az SDI jelentősége a nyugat-balkáni országokban generálhat igényt a hazai kis- és közepes méretű vállalkozások számára is. Tagszervezetünk, a Cascadoss Magyarországi Egyesület , a szegedi SDI műhely házigazdája már jelentős kapcsolati tőkével rendelkezik a térségben.
